A Mechanism of Cohesin-Dependent Loop Extrusion Organizes Zygotic Genome Architecture
Fertilization triggers assembly of higher-order chromatin structure from a nucleosomal state to generate a totipotent embryo. Chromatin loops and domains are detected in mouse zygotes by single-nucleus Hi-C (snHi-C) but not bulk Hi-C; both are absent in Drosophila embryos. We investigated whether zygotic chromatin structures are generated by cohesin-dependent loop extrusion. Using snHi-C of mouse knockout embryos, we demonstrate the zygotic genome folds into loops and domains that critically dep...

Deep data QC
metadata only · no data-level QC for this typeStandardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained
No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.
measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently
Scientific quality
Based on hands-on reproduction of the papers that use this dataset. A reproducible paper that stands on this data is positive evidence; a flagged one is a prompt to look closer — never a verdict on the dataset itself without the evidence.
